    The room are really well maintained spacious and clean, the food at the restaurant amazing it remember me the real authentic cuban food that I tried on my journey there. The staff is really nice and helpful for everything you need, the owner Bibiana and Ismael the best host that you can find and the Chef Damian really kind person and cook the best cuban dishes that I have tried in my life but he can also cook everything you ask. Location close to everything, few step away from the beach and most visited city's attraction. Price compare to the quality unbeatable most tried if you never been there

    Came in before the opened & they offered to cook us a meal. Owners , the chef & staff are extremely nice & welcoming. Ordered ropa vieja & it’s the best I had in a long time!! Everything was exactly as I hoped for. The best decision you can make is coming here. great prices for great amazing dishes. You will not be disappointed. I Will Definitely remember this place next time I visit Thailand.

    What a great chance find. Phuket is a fantastic melting pot of cultures already but this flavour of Cuba is better than many of it's kind I've been to in any country. Wonderful vibrant location set among Patong's chaos and feels like you're nowhere near Thailand sitting here and enjoying their sensational food and warm hospitality. Make time to look over their cool in-house artworks created by the owner's father. So happy we decided against the usual Thai street food tonight and we're looking forward to coming back again soon.

    We had worst experience with this hotel. My husband and I entered and asked for menu. In the meantime my husband wanted to use washroom . we are vegetarian. so we had nothing to taste in their menu . and the lady at the counter asked for 70 bhat for using washroom . I have been to many places but no one charge for using washrooms. This is extremely mean , selfish and pathetic and also later when i opposed she asked us to buy one water bottle for 20 bhat. Please beware before entering such restraunts. These are the people who start to charge extra to tourists.

    The owner greeted us. We ordered the Cuban sandwich. It was delicious, and it was enough to feed both of us.

    Popped in one afternoon to see the menu and grab a cold beer. Seemed there was only one member of staff on so service was a little slow. However she was dealing with hotel guests so it's good to see they took priority. Also happened to bump into the owners on patong beach. They seem like lovely, honest people with such pride in their establishment. Food I saw looked great. I will definitely return to give it a full try out.

    Searching for a new culinary experience I gave a chance to this restaurant of Cuban Gastronomy and was a perfect decission. I had the "Vaca Frita" and was a perfect choose. The meat is high quality and the rice with frijoles made me remind mom's food. Thanks to Chef Damian for help me to choose a great dish and to the owners Isma and Bibi for be so nice and wellcome. Is a place that must try if you are at Patong, fully recommend.

    What a great little Cuban/Mexican restaurant and bar. Me and my wife were just going for a walk had a look in and the owner Ismael came out and welcomed us in and gave us seats at the bar under a fan. Ismael was super welcoming and made us a few Cuban drinks and then we chatted to him for a couple of hours about his life and family and of course his restaurant and hotel. His family and staff were also very hospitable and friendly and we really enjoyed sitting around and talking while enjoying their Cuban cocktails. I definitely recommend coming here for drinks and the food looks amazing but we had just eaten so didn’t try any food! Good luck with the business Ismael hope you run this awesome bar and restaurant for many years to come and thank you for the hospitality!

    I noticed this restaurant on my way back from the Muay Thai Stadium a few nights ago so I decided to give it a try. My lunch consisted of a Cuban Sandwich with fries and I also ordered a side of Moros (rice/beans.) Overall it was surprisingly good, it's not going to compete with the best in Lil Havana or anything, but it was very good especially for being in Thailand. I was also happy that they didn't add mayonnaise to the sandwich (California stop it). I wish I wasn't stuffed because there is a gelato shop right down the street that looks good. So if you're in the Patong Beach area for more than a few days and need variety in your cuisine, stop by.

    Easily the best Cuban and Mexican food I’ve had, certainly in Patong but arguably anywhere. The burritos are epic and the Cuban dishes vibrant and delicious. The atmosphere is great with a Latin American musical background, accompanied with Latin American accents and loads of smiles and laughter. All in all, please go, it’s worth the visit.

    It’s great when the owner is so hands on. He made sure we were enjoying ourselves and came over and talked with us. The food was out of this world. Possibly the best burrito I’ve ever had. Try the corona sunrise too 🤤

    Tasty Cuban 🇨🇺 food, easy simple menu with lots of flavor. Vaca frita port with lemon was fab - highly recommended

  • 5/5 Ryszard M. 1 year ago on Google
    During our holidays in Patong we spent few evenings at Pipikuku's restaurant. The food was very good (especially vaca frita and pechuga grille) as well as drinks - Cuba libre!. The owner and his wife are very nice, helpful and joyful. We recoment this restaurant and do hope we will visit it once again. Muchas gracias!

    I stayed at the hotel for 2 weeks of my vacation and it was great choice. Hotel is in great location, next to 7-Eleven FamilyMart and few pretty good streetfood stalls. A lot of restaurants, bars, shops, laundries and thai massage parlors around and 15 min by walk to the beach. Room was clean, with big and comfortable bed, maybe not overflowing with luxuries, but satisfying. The staff was very kind and carrying and the owners, with their hospitality, kindness and sense of humor, makes very friendly atmosphere. I recommend great, cooked from the heart, cuisine and obligatory point of the program - cuba libre!

    Stayed here for 4 nights Its a very basic room. Get the king size bed. You will sleep like a baby. Water pressure is excellent Hot and cold water in both shower and sink. Make sure to eat at the Cuban restaurant downstairs. The food is excellent. I would also recommend you book directly with hotel to get the best savings. The hotel is just a short walk to Walking Street, and many other places in Patong beach There is limited parking so you may not want to stay if you have a car. I was able to park close to hotel everyday. The staff is great, very friendly.

    From an Ex Angeleno who knows how good Cuban should taste and lives in Australasia. I didn’t stay at the hotel, but the restaurant was top notch! Best Cuban food on this side of the Pacific! If you are into Cuban food or want to give it a go, you won’t be disappointed. Soul filling. Number #10 was awesome.

    The food at Pipikuku is bursting with flavour, made with delicious fresh ingredients. We shared the chilli cheese poppers and meatballs to start - both were outstanding. My wife had the chicken loaded nachos for main, and I went for the pulled pork and slaw burger. Again, both were delicious - my favourite meal of our holiday and we've been here over a week. The food was very reasonably priced and the staff friendly and welcoming. As we were leaving, the owner came over and introduced himself, asking how our meal was and told us a bit about himself. He is a graphic designer and gave us a sticker he designed, of an old American car in Cuba. This was a very nice touch and topped off a great experience. Highly recommended
